Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the effect of local anesthetic temperatures on the incidence of intrapartum fever during labor.
  • Conducted a randomized clinical trial with participants receiving epidural analgesia.
  • Compared warmed local anesthetics (37°C) to standard temperature solutions.
  • Monitored temperature changes during labor.
  • Achieved a 50% reduction in the incidence of fever with warmed anesthetics.
  • Reduction did not meet the predefined threshold of 60%.

Abstract

Although we found a 50% reduction in the incidence of temperature rise using warmed (37°C) local anesthetics for epidural labor analgesia, this did not reach our preset threshold of 60% reduction.
